[HOT] Crowd2Map rural Tanzania

[Janet Chapman]

We're getting people in rural Tanzania to map data about their communities
using EpicollectPlus.  Please can anyone advise:

 

1.if there is any way to tell up to date the Bing satellite images
are and how often they are updated as some of the points we are trying to
add weren't built in the satellite images.

2.   Are there any recommended apps to use OSM on android

3.   What the best way of publicising the project to people in rural
Tanzania is - currently we have
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1551808625147532/ and @crowd2map 

4.   If anyone is aware of any other data sets we could incorporate -
thanks Mark Iliffe for links to water points and health facilities

5.   We're having a hack day on May 7th in London, Dar es Salaam - and
remotely - so if anyone wants to be involved that would be great!

 

Many thanks

Janet

We're trying to print village level maps to send to Tanzania using

Also does anyone know any coders who might help us build an online

Hi Denis, this is amazing. I have been looking for a tasking manager for field

I have a question though, for you, or anyone on the list...

 

I open my schools file in JOSM and also open my tile of OSM data, but at some 
point the two seem to merge. Then, when I come to upload my changes, I am 
worried that it is going to upload the whole schools data set!

 

Any clue what's going on??

Hey Janet,

 

This is a great cause and it would be really nice to see this data added to 
Tanzania!

 

I've set up a Tasking Manager to make it easier to track the progress of your 
contributors.

 

I can add you as a Project Manager for you to add any extra details to the Task.

 

Tasking Manager
Mapping primary schools in Tanzania

http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/19

 

I've converted the data into a friendly OSM format, the file isn't too large 
(2.5MB).

 

Data

Tanzania Primary Schools.osm

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/addxy.com/HOTOSM/Tanzania+-+Primary+Schools.osm

 

Here's an example of a typical school in OSM, it will be useful to reference 
this example when someone is new to mapping.

 

Example

Migeko Primary School

[HOT] Crowd2Map Tanzania - adding villages, boosting mobile reception, and OSM apps

[Janet Chapman]

Adding villages
We've been collecting data from volunteers on the ground using Epicollect
here http://plus.epicollect.net/TDTschoolsResourceMap/Resources  I've now
been adding villages using these instructions
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Qi8bGfITFESmQ2LUJzQzJGTGs/view?usp=sharin
g and username JanetChapman 

Please could someone check that I am doing this correctly?

 

Boosting mobile signal

Does anyone know any cheap ways of boosting mobile reception in rural
Tanzania please?

 

OSM apps

Can anyone recommend a good Android app to allow people in Tanzania to see
the new data added to OSM.  The ones we've tried OSMand and Maps.Me seem to
use old data sets.

 

Thanks

Janet

author a HOT Tasking Manager to map the villages and roads around Mugumu,

Thank you so much Blake, Maps.Me is brilliant, just trying to work out the best

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Hi all,

The Disaster Management Centre of Sri Lanka has provided us with a final area 
of interest for mapping. It's the outline of the flooding area around the 
Kelani River as of today, May 27, as collected by Sri Lankan Survey Department 
assessment teams.

About 85% of the flooding area was covered by our previous mapping from tasks 
1913, 1914 and 1915. That data is already being used by the DMC to estimate 
damages and plan relief distribution. They would like us to map the flooded 
areas not yet mapped so their analysis can be complete and accurate. We've been 
told this will be the final request for our services and we can close the 
activation after we're done.

I’ve created a new task for these areas at 
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1934. It covers all the various unmapped flood 
areas in the river basin and is hence a bit spread out. The instructions 
specify different imagery sources for different areas so pay attention.

Please take a task at http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1934 and help us complete 
our work! Thanks to the help of volunteers like you we’ve done a fantastic job 
so far and received a lot of appreciative messages from the DMC. Help us 
complete this activation on a strong note!

Yours,
Robert

[HOT] Crowd2Map Tanzania to protect girls at risk of FGM - request for validators, particularly on 30th October

[Janet Chapman]

Thanks to everyone who has helped so far with 
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1788
We need to get it finished well before the FGM cutting season starts at the 
beginning of December to ensure that all of the villages can be reached.  We 
are doing an exhibition and workshop at Mozfest  
https://app.mozillafestival.org/#_session-609 which we hope will bring in new 
mappers.  If anyone is able to help, particularly with validating then, we'd be 
really grateful.  There is a short video on the need for maps 
here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1vxrZfLwCM>  and another by one of the 
girls here<https://youtu.be/wEskE7R3XQk>.  Please share with anyone who might 
be interested.  Many thanks, Janet

[HOT] Please help with Task #1788 - FGM cutting season has started early in Tanzania

[Janet Chapman]

If anyone is able to help with Task 1788 it has become more critical because 
the FGM cutting season, expected to start at the end of the month has begun 
early and already we have heard of many girls cut and one girl dying.  If you 
are able to help please concentrate on the areas around the villages in this 
sheet 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13lqBQy6PKrS9HwkAnvNMhIIejG6rmg_9uiUd6sXK3nc/edit?usp=sharing

Re: [HOT] Please help with Task #1788 - FGM cutting season has started early in Tanzania

[Janet Chapman]

Thanks, Pete.  The map will help anti FGM campaigners reach the girls at risk 
in the villages.  We know of girls at risk in at least 2 villages that we don’t 
know the location of, and suspect there are many more.

Hi Janet, it would be worth stating why mapping will help... good for 
motivation and mapping for FGM is probably quite a conceptual leap for many...

Cheers,

Pete

[HOT] Presentations on value of maps to District Medical/Education Officer

[Janet Chapman]

Does anyone have any presentations on how maps of their area could help the 
work of a District Medical/Education Officer that has never had access to one 
of the schools in their area?  I'm travelling around Tanzania next week and if 
anyone has done this type of informal presentation before I would welcome your 
input.

I don’t have a short answer for this, but my feeling is that it’s about initial 
training as much about providing a buffer for people who are just curious and 
want to click around a bit. Anything that redirects TV audiences to such an 
initial buffer is likely a win. Optimally, people who contribute well are then 
guided to further projects — for example as part of validator feedback.

Yes, that sounds great. The existing HOT newsletter could be a low-effort means 
of starting something like this, e.g. by adding a paragraph on current 
initiatives to every email. (Tyler might likely appreciate if someone who’s 
plugged into community discourse could provide such paragraphs on short notice.)

I love how quickly this came to be! Much impressed.


Looking forward to an exciting 2017,

[HOT] Mapping International Womens' Day mapping activities

[Janet Chapman]

Crowd2Map is planning a number of mapping activities around Mapping to help end 
FGM on http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2501 on IWD on Wed 8th, in UK, 
Lithuania, Tanzania and online, and we wanted to set up a map showing the 
location of all the mappers helping that people could add themselves to.

Is anyone else planning such an initiative?  Or have any advice on the best way 
to do this?

Many thanks
Janet

[HOT] Reminder for Crowd2Map Community Webinar tomorrow at 12 UTC

[Janet Chapman]

I'm hoping to that many in the HOT community will be able to join the webinar 
tomorrow on:
Crowd2Map is a volunteer run mapping project that has been mapping rural 
Tanzania since 2015, particularly to help protect girls from Female Genital 
Mutilation (FGM). Since then, Crowd2Map have recruited over 1,300 online 
volunteers and 200 local mappers, and mapped over 1.1 million buildings and 
64,000 km of roads and tracks. This has all been done on zero budget. Better 
maps in Serengeti have helped the number of girls being cut drop from 3700 last 
year to 1076 this, and the number of girls dying from 12 to 4.

This year, Crowd2Map are also very excited to be awarded a HOT Microgrant, 
which they are using to train village level Legal Officers and Community Change 
Agents in 4 different areas of rural Tanzania. During the webinar, Janet will 
share the planning for this project, the barriers and enablers we have 
identified so far, and seek advice from the HOT community.

[HOT] Women in Technology Session as part of State of the Map Africa - participate online

[Janet Chapman]

Dear all
As part of State of the Map Africa on Saturday morning we have organised the 
following session and you are welcome to participate remotely here 
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-in-technology-and-mapping-session-state-of-the-map-uganda-tickets-35955408595


Also if you cannot participate feel free to send me any comments or questions 
by email in advance.  The event will also be recorded.

Details below:

Women in Technology and Mapping
Globally there is a lack of diversity in software development and mapping, 
resulting in an inherent bias in the way tech applications are developed and 
data is collected. This in turn can impact the way that decisions are made in 
development planning and disaster risk management, which can have a negative 
impact on women and girls.
This session will showcase the achievements of female leaders in technology and 
mapping. The panel of discussants will illustrate how diverse perspectives can 
lead to different data being collected, new apps created, and better decisions 
made. The panel will discuss what can be done to encourage female mappers and 
technologists, identifying barriers to their involvement, as well as what 
strategies have been successful. It will be facilitated by Angela Oduor 
Lungati, Director of Community Engagement, Ushahidi and co-founder of a leading 
women in tech organization on Kenya, AkiraChix.

[HOT] Biggest ever mapathon to map rural Tanzania and celebrate 13 years of OpenStreetMap - August 13th/14th

[Janet Chapman]

On 13th August OpenStreetMap will be 13 years old and to celebrate 
Crowd2Map<https://crowd2map.wordpress.com/> are organising the biggest mapathon 
ever to get over 1500 people mapping rural Tanzania in a 24 hour period.  It 
would be amazing if you could join us by:


*Promoting the event 
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/crowd2map-hosts-the-biggest-online-mapathon-ever-to-get-rural-tanzania-onto-openstreetmap-and-help-tickets-36751714367
 to your your contacts

*Hosting an event at any time in that 24 hour period.  Perhaps just a 
small one in your home to which you invite a few friends and tell them about 
OSM. You can map any of the projects here http://bit.ly/MapTanzania or ask me 
to create a custom one.

Many thanks and please let me know if you have any questions, comments or 
suggestions, or if you want any more information.

Best wishes and thank you!

[HOT] Tracking number of mappers in real time - any suggestions please

[Janet Chapman]

We are trying to beat the previous record of number of mappers in a remote 
mapathon over 24 hours (which I believe from Rebecca is 1500) by tracking the 
number of individual mappers editing a task or OSM directly using the hashtag 
#crowd2map or Maps.Me in Tanzania in the 24 hours from 11am GMT on Sun 13th 
August, to celebrate 13 years of OSM.  I will add the #crowd2map hashtag to the 
tasks here 
http://tasks.hotosm.org/?direction=asc&page=1&search=Tanzania+Development+Trust&sort_by=priority
   during that time frame.  

Ideally we'd like to keep a track of the number of different mappers in real 
time over the 24 hour period.  

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to do this please?

Many thanks, and if anyone is able to introduce new mappers to OSM during this 
timeframe to help us we'd be very grateful!Janet

[HOT] Analysis of when mappers joined OSM

[Janet Chapman]

Does anyone know how to analyse when mappers in a particular project(s) joined 
OSM?  We're interested in analysing what proportion of mappers on these 
projects are new to OSM 
http://tasks.hotosm.org/?direction=asc&page=1&search=Tanzania+Development+Trust&sort_by=priority


Any advice appreciated, thanks.

[HOT] Retention of mappers analysis

[Janet Chapman]

Does anyone have a script to analyse information about people mapping using a

We would like to analyse how long our volunteers mapping with

done?

[HOT] Global Mapathon to help end female genital mutilation (FGM) - 28th to 30th September - please help promote!

[Janet Chapman]

To coincide with a UN General Assembly High Level Panel event which will 
include discussion on how mapping can help the fight against female genital 
mutilation (FGM), and a mapathon in New York, we are organising a global 
mapathon
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/global-mapathon-to-help-end-female-genital-mutilation-fgm-tickets-49858325594



We are building a global network to unite people from across the world to help 
map areas where girls are at risk of FGM so that activists can better protect 
them. We will be posting on social media using #map2endFGM.

Please join us and help spread the word throughout your networks!

We want to include mappers from every country where FGM is an issue.



Many thanks

Janet
